I kept my phone on charging and watched a movie. After the movie got over I noticed that my phone drained its battery rather charge itself. I thought that the quad core suck battery while playing videos. I switched the power saving mode on later. It still didn't charge. I then thought that there is something wrong.. I then switched wifi off with power saving enabled and data off.. and then locked the screen and slept thinking it'll charge up by morning. I woke up just to find out that my phone didn't charge at all. And the processor was awake all the time. I've attached a screen shot. Someone please help me. I am on omega 4 with a theme by nitrox I believe.

kill all running apps, hard reboot. Tried that yet?
I did a reboot.. no help.. I'll try factory reset. Do you've any idea why the signal bar became yellow instead of green?

Sighhhhhhh ...... the case:
- Playing Haning with Friends (Zynga) with phone plugged into charger
- Fell asleep, left game on screen
- woke up next morning, phone was hot enough to burn
- turned off, removed battery etc, allowed phone to cool.
- turned back on, so far (it's been about 4 hours since I woke up) phone randomly goes off
- doesn't seem to be linked to any particular activity or time frame - within 5 - 15mins it goes off, sometimes on a call it goes off
Is it a lost cause? :crying: Or something that I can do to fix it? Or something that will correct itself with time? Change the battery perhaps (though all the battery monitors say battery is fine hrmph!)
Opinions will be really appreciated.
Cheers,
Mex.

I'd try to change battery. You should find cheap ones online easily.
What about taking pictures with flash? My phone dies from time to time because of its (supposed) dead battery when taking pictures or when ringing.
Surprisingly enough, there are A LOT of battery threads in these days.. it's obviously a conspiracy
Maybe ur battery is completely dead?
Battery juice might have all burnt out.
My laptop dies 5 minutes after I unplug the charger.

Does the phone turns itself off even when pluged in?
If yes, then maybe its a hardware problem
If not, its definetely a battery's problem. In this case, try running complete discharging and charging cyrcles (2%->100%) and leave it pluged in for 8-12 hours, even if it says fully charged.
Any signs of swelling on the battery?
And when your phone goes off randomly.. What is its temperature like? I mean does it get hot and then turn off?
Thanx for all the feedback.
I discovered a couple of hours later that it is indeed the battery.
Doesn't go off when plugged in.
Battery monitors say the battery is fine but it can hop, step skip from 30% to 9% in a short whatsapp chat.
No bulging or heating, just goes off
On the up side I guess its a blessing that its not a hardware issue.
New battery it is then... What are the chances of successfully suing Zynga for the replacement lol, the game should come with a warning!!!
Tnx.

I am running PA 3.5. Today I woke up with my battery being at 20% maybe 45 minutes later I got a notification of the battery being 14% and about two minutes after that the phone just completely died, it would not turn on. Luckily I immediately plugged my phone and got the blinking red light. I was afraid more than ever, and was turning on my PC to find the solution for this problem. In the mean time my phone went to its normal state and was charging. I turned it on and the battery was charging at 2%.
Should I be worried about this issue or has anyone had it happen to them?

Try searching the Q&A, lots of others have experienced this type of thing..
Hey guys.
My first post ever, so please bare with me.
I made a big mistake updating to 4.4.2 coz I've had only problems since that. I have a rooted SM-N9005 with a Danish carrier. I have read and read and read for at fix, but can't seem. to find on. . My problem is this.. I can have a fully charged battery, unplug the phone and can, by using the power button, turn the phone off and on again. BUT if I pull the battery out and insert it again after 10 sec, then the phone doesn't turn on. It only turns if it gets the power cord in again. That's the first problem.
The second on is the battery drain. I have done a dalvik clean, cache partition clean, factory reset, soft reset, hard reset, uinstalled pretty much every app that I have... nothing helps. I even bought a new battery.
Can you guys help me or guide me in the right direction on what to do??
Thank you in advance
Can't help with your first problem, sorry.
How quickly is your battery draining? Can you post a screenshot? And more details - custom/stock ROM, kernel etc.
You can try and pin down what is the biggest battery hog with Better Battery Stats.

Hey B3311
Thanks for the reply
A couple of screen shots. Even when using BBS I haven't been able to pin point the exact cut print
Dreadful drain indeed....
Can you see what's under "partial wakelocks" and "kernel wakelocks" in BBS?
You had wifi on but still huge drain when the screen was off and the phone was asleep, hence I'm thinking wakelock - something is stopping your phone from sleeping. But you need BBS or Wake Lock Detector to pin it down.
They can be a ***** to find, but can be zapped.

Hey Jdomadia
Pretty much everything is off.. data . GPS.. Bluetooth and so on.. I'm still wondering if my problem is due to the power button issue that I'm having
Hi Bro i had the same problem the source of it is the developper option just desable them from settings and every thing will be normal again i hope that works for you too
Hey Abdel310
That never cross my mind. Better Google how to disable them once I have enabled them. Bro, I tried everything so I'm gonna try this straight away!!
Just did it, and man if that helps I'll be the happiest camper you'll ever see
i had the same problem i left my phone fully charged and i go to sleep and at the morning i found it off and 0 % battery and no apps runnig just try it and full charg it and it will not drain battery at lest in the sleep mode
Sadly disabling the developer option didn't fix the problem..
it still drain battery in sleep mode ?
the latest screen shots from better battery stats. I can't find any partial wake lock that seems to cause the drain
It's starting to sound more like a malfunctioning battery itself. Especially considering your first issue.
Have you tried a different battery?
Also try it without the SIMcard. A malfunctioning SIM can also cause these issues. (Happened to me back on 4.3. Drained 12%/h, not a single wakelock and 98% deep sleep. No SIM, no drain. New SIM fixed it.)

So here is the latest update.. I found out that even when the phone is off, like shut down the phone drains the battery. had to phone to a complete charge, shut off the phone and left it alone.. during the night the battery was drained... and it's a brand new battery

If you can get your hands on another battery, just to test, try that (could be you bought a bummer battery) Do you have any friends with Note 3 you can swap batteries with just to see what it does?
Hey Burtcom
tanks for the reply. I can't believe that it's the battery, without knowing for sure. I'm still wondering if my problem is due to the power button issue.. as I mentioned, if I remove a fully charged battery from the phone and reinsert it, then the phone won't turn on. it will only turn on with a power cord.
Now my phone drains the battery even when the phone is off.. like completely turn off.
Hi guys,
I have a problem with my nexus 6p's battery. My phone is always shutting down as soon as it reaches around 20% left. I tried a full factory reset, different roms but the problem is still present.
The strange thing: I can't boot into android after it shut down. But: I can boot into twrp. I could run my phone for 2hours in recovery mode. I made about 10 backups and deleted them immediately.
The display was on and on 100% brightness.
Is it possible to recalibrate the battery? This is so annoying!
You probably need a new battery. Download AccuBattery from the Play Store, and use it to check the health of the battery.
Yeah definitely the battery I had similar issue. For now you could just keep the battery topped up but in time will start doing it at random times.

Sounds like a battery that's done...get a replacement...they're not that expensive.

Once you emptied it in recovery, try charging and quickly (with fast charge like 10s should be sufficient) booting then without using the phone, letting the phone charge and stay 1h30 at 100%.
Then let it discharge and when you reach the 20%, you need to have the minimum discharge rate (airplane mode, no heavy app, screen off). Every like, 30mn, check your percentage and screen off again.
Has anyone had an issue similar to mine? My issue is that the phone never shuts off when i'm using it. Randomly, a couple of times a week, i lock the phone after using it, and when i go back to turn it on, i see that the phone has shut off. I can turn the phone back on without needing to put it on a charger. Running PN + EX kernel if that matters.
Hi everone. I have the Samsung Galaxy S5 (Octa core version). Recently, i noticed that the battery had a strange behavior, so i planned to replaced when i finish my exams. During that time, the phone started to shut down randomly, so i bought a new battery thinking that would resolve all the problems, but it won't. The phone keeps shutting down alone, it happends when the battery percentage is below 60% and for turn on again i have to connect the phone charger or remove the battery and put it in again. Some times, the baterry percentage changes -/+ 15%, even from 40% to 3%. Oddly, sometimes the phone just get a black screen when i using it or the screen suffers some kind of distortion and shuts down.
Already did a factory reset and did some test on safe mode, but no luck. Curiously, when the phone is charging, there are no problems of any type.
Any clue of what could be?
